The arrival arrangements needed some attention. When we turned up the electricity was off, and there was a burglar alarm on for an hour and we didn't know which unit to go into. These were sorted but took some time. The unit is lovely but quite compact.

The courtyard itself is lovely with a great garden. The location is wonderful for exploring the villages. It would be great place for a large group to hire the whole complex.

The owners have lovingly and meticulously created a space in a very pleasant environment. If you’re looking to relax and unwind, this is the place for you: you can feel the tranquility and peace here. This spot offers an escape from the heat that overwhelms the island during the summer months, thanks to its pool and the pleasant evening temperatures in the mountains. The owners know the area extremely well and provide valuable tips and recommendations. Without a doubt, it’s a highly recommended place (we initially booked the place for two nights but ended up extending our stay for two more nights!) and we hope to return!

The relaxing atmosphere, the privacy of our small cottage. The friendly owners and staff.The well equipped cottage.The location was just right, as in 25 minutes we were at Avdimou beach and in 30 minutes we were up the mountains enjoying the cooler climate of Platres village.

Visiting Cecilia's Courtyard was a delightful experience, filled with warmth and charm. The atmosphere was enchanting, with beautiful decor that reflected the rich culture of the island. The wonderful courtyard, adorned with vibrant flowers and cozy seating, provided a perfect spot to relax and soak in the serene surroundings. 😊

The mattress was unfortunately way too hard and not comfortable to sleep on and there was no oven in the kitchen.

Super cosy little house with a lovely spacious garden and pool. The house was clean and we were “lucky” to be alone on the premises during our stay which felt extra luxurious to have the garden for ourselves. Easy check in and check out and the host had left plenty of recommendations of restaurants and things to do and see nearby.

The location was perfect, just a nice area with wineries and very close to the mountain villages. Generally less hot/ humid as near the sea & in the evening it cools down. The courtyard was nicely designed and the pool was cooling.

We had a lovely stay at Cecilia's Courtyard - the fairy lights in the courtyard were really pretty in the evenings and there were plenty of seating areas to enjoy the garden from. The owners left us a welcome pack (red wine, cheese, bread etc.) which was much appreciated and we enjoyed swimming in the pool over our week long stay. There is plenty to do around the area - Kaledonia Waterfalls, wine tasting in Omodos, Tzefelos Bridge and a trip down to the coast to Ancient Kourion was great too. All around a fantastic stay and a real hidden gem!

The shower in the daisy suite is temperamental. Either too hot or too cold and very small. Could have been a bit cleaner too. Host kindly allowed us to use the upstairs shower for another suite (empty) and this was perfect. But don't let this put you off. It's a village house and the water in villages can be a little funny. Host was kind, communicative and helped us out quickly when asked. There is also a shower in the garden if you need it!

The place was pretty, and our Suite was tidy and we'll presented. Host left wine, bread and snack for our arrival. Kitchen in Daisy suite was great, everything you need. Outdoor kitchen and bbq/clay oven in the garden were not used but good to know for the summer. My family home is in Malia so we stayed for easy access to fix our house, and we will stay again. The garden courtyard is shared and has a clean pool, and lots of herbs and flowers. Really pretty. Lots of friendly cats that made our stay extra cute.

The bathroom was a bit tiny and there was a small hole instead of window, which made the bathroom a bit cold for this time of the year.

If you like to experience authentic Cyprus countryside life, this is the right place to go. Very beautiful house (Daisy) and an impressive yard. The fireplace made the entire atmosphere even cozier. Next time, we are planning to go summer time, to enjoy the pool also.

Not recommended, if you want to feel safe. We had to leave the accommodation early because there were fundamental security flaws. The front door could not be locked securely: An inserted glass pane could be easily be opened from the outside and there was only a fly screen behind it. Although we were offered the activation of the alarm system and video surveillance as a solution, the cameras were partially covered and the property was accessible throughout as the courtyard doors were not allowed to be locked. The hosts offered to have the door repaired by a carpenter a few days later, which was too late for us. We declined alternative accommodation on the premises as we had expected the flat we had booked. A pro-rata refund was refused - both by the hosts and by Booking.com, which only offered us a voucher for 15 euros. A few months later and a few days before the end of the possibility of a review, the son of the accommodation manager contacted us and confirmed that no refund was possible. We are disappointed as security is a fundamental need and such shortcomings should be communicated or rectified in advance. A relaxing holiday was impossible under these circumstances.

The cats on the property and the quiet surroundings.

-very old equipment in kitchen and bathroom -decoration would make absolutely no sense. Items from different eras (and countries!) Were combined, giving an ugly and a bit exhausting for the mind, result. -no warning adhesive stickers, on kind of hazardous, stairs -owners, in an attempt to be friendly, the did cross some sort of line in my opinion, when calling me ("μάνα μου" = an extremely friendly pronounce in Cypriot dialect) over the phone; and the man welcoming us wearing only his swimsuit. For the 4 days I was there I saw him wearing no shirt whatsoever! -I really wanted to use the kitchen due to my special diet instead of eating in local restaurants, but when I tried to use it the very first day it was extremely user unfriendly and I quited. After that the room had a disturbing gas smell, until we left.

-cleaning lady was kind and helpful -the yard was beautiful -the house was spacious -owners provided a lot of supplies in food, hygiene and cleaning products (not sure if charges would have been applied if I had used them tbh) -located between nice beaches of Limassol and idyllic villages of Troodos mountains.

The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. Second day we got up with our back in pain. Eventually, the last night we didn't sleep there and we decided to return to our home.Kitchen equipment was very basic , just a small fry pan and a medium cook pot.

The pool was clean and the yard was very nice.

Very close to Omodos.
